How do we know God’s choice between Jacob and Esau is true?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals through Romans and Malachi that God chose Jacob and rejected Esau based on His sovereign will.

In Romans 9:13, it is stated, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.' This demonstrates God's sovereign choice, which is not based on human merit or actions but on His divine purpose. The distinction between Jacob and Esau isn't rooted in their actions or natures, but in God's decision to show mercy on Jacob while leaving Esau in his sin. This highlights the central doctrine of unconditional election and God's sovereign grace in salvation, where He elects individuals for salvation instead of based on their works or lineage.
